Title: Joplin Graffiti Mural (2011)
Artist: Unknown
Previous Location: Around 24th & Main Street (now destroyed, this “pop-up”
mural was created in the aftermath of the 2011 tornado. Public art was an
important and powerful part in the rebuilding process. During rebuilding,
it was demolished in order to make way for more structures in the area.)
